Jessica laughed and stood up from the Chronivac. She stretched her back, yawned, and in an incredibly stupid move, told Cody the following, for she had underestimated the capacity of Cody's remaining intelligence in her half swan body:
"I've been sitting here for a while, I'm going to go use your bathroom. Don't fly away on me!" Jessica went down the hallway and pulled the door closed from the outside.
Cody was fidgeting around in the room, flapping her wings and stewing. She was still prevented from attacking Jessica directly, but as soon as Cody heard Jessica close the bathroom door, she awkwardly picked up a metal poker from the fireplace with her hand wings, went over to the bathroom, and jammed the poker between the door and the door frame, trapping Jessica inside.
Jessica started pounding on the door, realizing her error. Cody was already back at the Chronivac computer, looking for a way out of her situation. Fortunately, Cody's fingers were covered in feathers, but they still functioned as they always did. She bent her swan legs weirdly to allow her to sit on the couch, and craned her long neck over the screen so she could see what she was doing. She began to type frantically with her black fingers.
BANG BANG BANG
The door would not hold Jessica for long. Cody found what she was looking for, the target selection. She typed 'Jessica' into the box.
BANG! BANG-
The pounding stopped for a second as Jessica felt an electric humm over her body. She doubled her efforts and after a few more BANGs, finally broke the door down. She ran down the hall.
Cody quickly peeked her long neck up and behind her. She had to think of something short and simple. As Jessica ran into the living room Cody typed out P-E-A and tapped 'enter'.
Jessica's face contorted in rage as she was stopped dead in her tracks by the Chronivac, only a foot away from Cody. Her clothes and glasses evaporated like mist, leaving her naked. Her hair stood up on end and retracted into her scalp, leaving her scalp completely smooth and bald. Her ears followed, melting into the sides of her head. Jessica's lips thinned out and disappeared, giving her a mere slit for a mouth.
"Cody", Jessica's voice quivered, terrified. She had lost control of her muscles, and her internal systems were beginning to melt into fleshy pea pulp. She was unable to move, she could just stand there, staring. "What am I going to turn into? I can't... move!"
Cody stood up with a loud honk, gesturing toward the Chronivac screen with a dark wing.
Jessica glimpsed her fate. "You sick freak, I am going to become a pea? That's like 10 times worse than-" Jessica's skin took on a uniform sickly shade of yellow, which spread across her entire body, deepening into a dull green.
Those were Jessica's last words as her throat and mouth cavity filled in with green pea flesh. Her nose flattened out and disappeared. Without ears, hair or facial features, Jessica's head resembled a pea with eyes.
Jessica's body was moving on its own, as part of the transformation process. She sat on the floor with a thump, bending her knees closely to her breasts. Her green toes blurred together, making it look as though Jessica had a pair of green tights on. Her feet pulled themselves tightly against her buttocks and upper leg. Her arms shot out to her sides, extended fully, as her fingers melted into each other. Jessica's now lash-less and lid-less eyes frantically took all of this in, darting back and forth. Her arms folded around her former knees and joined together, forming a round, solid ring. Jessica's body compressed as her back and neck leaned forward, forced to rest against her leg. Her head craned forward to rest on top of her knees. Jessica's nerves dulled as they, too were converted to pea-flesh.
Half-swan Cody eyed the proto-foodstuff and she began to get hungry.
The next phase of the transformation began. Jessica's terrified eyes sealed themselves and disappeared, leaving her with no way to express herself. Wherever the skin on Jessica's limbs touched, it melted and fused, joining the limbs together, melting and reshaping to form a rough sphere. Jessica's chin fused with her knees and her neck expanded to fill in a gap. Her former legs and arms formed another mass. All over her pea body, skin fused together and gaps filled in with pea flesh until Jessica was a perfectly round, firm, sphere. Jessica found that she was still self aware, but unable to move or do anything.
The three foot tall green pea on the floor slowly shrank until it was half an inch long in diameter. It stopped moving. Cody leaned over the pea and snapped it up in her bill, chewing it thoroughly before swallowing and digesting it. She turned her attention to the Chronivac, which she now had all to herself.
